In gripping (chuck) devices such as those used for fixed-size objects, if the object being held slips during transport, it can lead to a decrease in cutting precision and handling performance, resulting in defective products and troubles. Therefore, we have jointly developed a sensor system with the Kagawa Prefectural Industrial Technology Center to detect the slipping of the object being gripped with high precision. This sensor has a unique structure that combines a parallel spring and a detection element, allowing it to detect and measure slipping within the gripping surface of the chuck, regardless of the shape or size of the object being held. Additionally, it utilizes two types of detection elements: strain gauges and piezoelectric films, enabling it to respond to both static and dynamic slipping. It can detect slips of workpieces on the order of 0.1 mm and employs the technology from the pending patent JP2022-92993.

Due to the discontinuation of the KEYENCE optical scale sensor 'VP-90', which was used for dimension measurement in the Auto Positioner APK series, we have prepared a combination of the Magnescale detector-equipped head code 'PL-81' and magnetic scale as a replacement product for the VP-90. If you have any questions regarding the replacement process, please feel free to contact us.

Our test cut service offers free test cuts for various materials such as aluminum profiles, resin, copper plates, and wood. By taking actual materials and conducting cutting evaluations under optimal conditions, we can confirm the post-processing state (cut surfaces, burrs, deformations, etc.) in advance. Additionally, leveraging our expertise as a cutting machine manufacturer, we also provide consultations on selecting saw blades and cutting conditions. This service is recommended for those looking for the best processing methods when introducing new materials or changing existing ones. If you have any concerns, please feel free to consult with us.

This guide is an introductory material that clearly summarizes the knowledge needed to select the right saw blade for safely and cleanly cutting aluminum, making it easy for beginners to understand. It thoroughly explains the basics such as blade type, number of teeth, rotation speed, and feed rate, as well as the optimal conditions for different materials, all from a practical perspective. Utilizing the know-how accumulated by Okumura Machinery Manufacturing, it provides content that even those attempting aluminum cutting for the first time can use with confidence.
